Hi,
Like I need another project. Have been searching wood and wood sites on the web for plans for a classic wooden tackle box. With automatic lift trays etc. Believe they were of Mahogany. I would like to use Cherry. Thanks in advance for any clues on plan sources.

How about this hobby box (http://www.woodworkersjournal.com/plans/index.cfm/plan_details/5/10/166)?

Here's (http://www.rockler.com/findit.cfm?page=590&cookietest=1) an automatic tray jewelry box, and a souce for the lifting hardware. With their hardware, you could design your own box.

Take a tape to the sporting goods store and get the dimensions of one you like. Then it's just a matter of increasing the scantlings and overall dimensions accordingly to accommodate half-inch stock for the box and 1/4" minus stock for the trays.

Had some WO left over from a boat and made the wife a copy of her favorite grooming tool box.

One trick in dovetailing quarter-inch minus stock is to join 3/8" stock and plane it down after assembly on the jointer.
